José Falero’s Transfuge Literature

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze José Falero's literature as a transfuge, that is, a writing that breaks barriers of expectations in the literary game. After all, the social origin and socialization circles of the person who writes, as well as the profession beyond literature, often end up mediating the attribution of the “merit” of the work. In the other hand, it is in the relatively dominated systems and of agents without privilege in the literary game that the most innovative productions often emerge. This is the perspective from which we will approach José Falero's literature, for this we use the short stories of Vila Sapo (2019) and the novel Os supridores (2020), in addition to interviews given by the writer to newspapers, to a podcast and the author of this work.
